A MIDLAND girl with Down's Syndrome will be a star on the small screen today when she appears in EastEnders.

Four-year-old Hannah Yarnall, from Aldridge, will feature in tonight's episode of the popular BBC soap, where she plays a member of a support group for children with Down's.

Her parents, Jo and Mark, had already been spoken to earlier this year by soap bosses wanting advice on how to tackle the emotional storyline of characters Billy and Honey having a daughter with the syndrome.

And this led to Hannah earning a spot on the show, where she will be seen for a few minutes as a member of a support group that Billy and Honey, played by Perry Fenwick and Emma Barton, go to for much-needed advice.

Jo said: "We have invited a lot of family and friends round for tonight's show and we are raring to go and can't wait to see it.

"She is one of eight children in the group which Honey and Billy go to and she will be on screen for a few minutes."
